The LTC4358 is a 5A ideal diode that uses an internal 20mΩ N-channel MOSFET to replace a Schottky diode when used in diode-OR and high current diode applications. The LTC4358 reduces power consumption, heat dissipation, and PC board area.The LTC4358 easily ORs power supplies together to increase total system reliability. In diode-OR applications, the LTC4358 regulates the forward voltage drop across the internal MOSFET to ensure smooth current transfer from one path to the other without oscillation. If the power source fails or is shorted, a fast turnoff minimizes reverse current transients.ApplicationsN+1 Redundant Power SuppliesHigh Availability SystemsTelecom InfrastructureAutomotive Systems

The LTC4359 is a positive high voltage ideal diode controller that drives an external N-channel MOSFET to replace a Schottky diode. It controls the forward-voltage drop across the MOSFET to ensure smooth current delivery without oscillation even at light loads. If a power source fails or is shorted, a fast turn-off minimizes reverse current transients. A shutdown mode is available to reduce the quiescent current to 9μA for load switch and 14µA for ideal diode applications.When used in high current diode applications, the LTC4359 reduces power consumption, heat dissipation, voltage loss and PC board area. With its wide operating voltage range, the ability to withstand reverse input voltage, and high temperature rating, the LTC4359 satisfies the demanding requirements of both automotive and telecom applications. The LTC4359 also easily ORs power sources in systems with redundant supplies.ApplicationsAutomotive Battery ProtectionRedundant Power SuppliesSupply HoldupTelecom InfrastructureComputer Systems/ServersSolar Systems

The LTC4362 monolithic overvoltage/overcurrent protector safeguards 2.5V to 5.5V systems from power supply overvoltage. It is designed for portable devices with multiple power supply options including wall adaptors, car battery adaptors and USB ports.The LTC4362 controls an internal 40mΩ N-channel MOSFET in series with the input power supply. During overvoltage transients, the LTC4362 turns off the MOSFET within 1μs, isolating downstream components from the input supply. In most applications, the LTC4362 rides through inductive cable transients without requiring transient voltage suppressors or other external components. An internal current sense resistor is used to implement overcurrent protection.The LTC4362 has a delayed start-up at plug-in and controlled dV/dt ramp-up for inrush current limiting. APWRGDpin provides power good monitoring for VIN. The LTC4362 features a soft-shutdown controlled by theONpin and drives an optional external P-channel MOSFET for negative voltage protection. Following an overvoltage condition, the LTC4362 automatically restarts with a 130ms delay. After an overcurrent fault, the LTC4362-1 remains off while the LTC4362-2 automatically restarts after a 130ms delay.ApplicationsUSB ProtectionHandheld ComputersCell/Smart PhonesMP3/MP4 PlayersDigital Cameras
